Recently my husband and I discussed what I believe is one of many promises in God’s word.  I’m not a Bible scholar by any means, but I have read, memorized, and clung to bible verses through the years.   The one verse in particular I’m referring to is:

Deuteronomy 30:3

“God, your God, will restore everything you lost; he’ll have compassion on you; he’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered.”

Another verse that comes to mind in Job 42:10 states:

“After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.”  

We are watching this unfold in our lives again.  God fulfilled this promise for me years ago, and even today I see His hand at work in different areas of our lives.

It may seem like evil is winning and we have lost this or that.  We are told in God’s word the devil came to steal, kill, and destroy.  Here’s the thing.  GOD will not allow the enemy to win.  What the enemy tries to take from you, GOD will restore and give you back MORE!  I am a living, breathing, walking, talking testament to this promise from God.

My whole purpose in coming here today was to write to encourage you.  If you are feeling stuck in a situation, just know you are NOT alone.  God is with you!  Evil will NOT win.  God will make sure of that!

Do NOT lose faith and don’t give up hope.

Oh, dear one, God will restore to you everything you lost, and it will be greater than you could ever imagine when it happens.  And it will happen.  Cling to that until you see it unfold in your own life!  God’s restoration!
